What is recorded here
Clareen holds a buried chamber inside an ancient rath, a hidden room where local traditions say the dead were laid to rest. No grave breaks the grass, yet the land remembers every body it swallowed. The absence of marks does not mean absence of life; it means the earth kept the secret and waited for patience.
In a rath (MA111-003----). According to local traditions, the rath interior was used for burials. There are no graves visible at ground level.
